Plan
By Jeremy Glaze
“What is the plan for my life?”
This is a question that I have asked myself a million times. We all want a plan for our life to make sure we are going to get from point A to point B without wasting a moment. If you are anything like me, you spend way too much time thinking about this plan.
As a Christ follower, I have realized that my plan is not the best plan. So I ask God what is His plan for my life. I usually change the word “plan” to “will”. So instead of asking myself a million times, I am now asking God a million times, “What is your will for my life?” Basically, I am asking God “where am I going and how am I going to get there?”
I am constantly trying to figure out His answer. Am I living in the right area, do I have the right job, am I going to the right church, am I giving to the right organization, am I volunteering at the right places, etc…? In every major part of life I am asking “is this God’s will?”
I know that I should always seek God’s will, but I believe I have been going about it in the wrong way.
Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory (Colossians 3: 1-4).
I have been making it way too difficult. When in reality, this is how the conversation goes:
Me: “God, what is your plan for my life?”
God: “I am your life.”
What’s left to figure out?
I had been setting my mind on earthly things while trying to incorporate God in these things. When instead, I should set my mind on things above, and incoorperate the earthly things in this mind set. Where ever I live, work, and play, my mind needs to be set on God as my life. Then let these other things fall into place.
So now saying “your will be done” is the exact same thing as saying “be my life”. Be my all, be my every thing.
Just what I needed TODAY! Thanks.
